Dear Parents,

Homework today would be the exercise on Problemsums.com (due Wed 20 April). Things to bring will be
: scissors, gluestick, colour pencils and green pen.

The pupils will be asked later this week to 'prepare' their favourite dish using platicine (those who may not take well to plasticine can use other materials like paper etc to make) and to use it for Show-and-Tell at end week. I will be providing the necessary plasticine for them on Wed/Thurs. Show-and-Tell will be assessed as a bite-size assessment this time round.

I am still trying to complete my oral assessment (from register 19 onwards) and will be sending back this information (results of the oral reading and picture conversation) as well as the two maths quizzes ( already marked but waiting for the oral results ) at end of week.

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today, for those who are unable to submit their homework and have told me their reasons are given an extension for their homework yesterday. The rest have handled in.

For this weekend, the pupils are to complete 5 worksheets from  the stapled set of 'The Hungry Giant' English worksheets. They are not to complete all. The 5 worksheets are 9.1, 9.1a, 9.7, Word Order 1 and Punctuation.

Things to bring will include:
a) Colour pencils
b) Green pen

I will continue the reading assessments next week as we have not done this. May I know if there are any pupils who cannot play with plasticine? I am going to give an assignment next week re this for English. (Mrs Singh, please help to send this out to parents not on the blog. Thanks.)

Many thanks to the parents who helped at sandwich making yesterday! The children have enjoyed themselves. Much appreciated!

P.S. As I want to reinforce care and share (to be nice and how to resolve conflicts), as well as to be more on task (instead of talking and playing when they are supposed to be doing work), I have delayed rewards day to Monday to observe the pupils one more day as the majority of the class was not ready today.  For your information please.

Thank you. Have a wonderful weekend!

For 8 April (Friday)

Dear Parents,

This is what the children will be told to do for the weekends. They will be getting their journals tomorrow to do their homework. Today they had computer class and I typed out their BC number for them  and give them in a slip of paper to log into the school system. Please help to get them to remember their own  BC number as soon as is possible so that they do not need to refer to the slips with the BC number.
